Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-4586:
------------------------------------

We've seen tons of instances of people wanting to send in queries of more than 
1024 terms.   Making them edit a config file first is very unfriendly.  It's 
*really* unfriendly if the system is already in production.

We don't limit the size of a query in bytes, the number of prefix queries, or 
fuzzy queries, or range queries, or any other query clauses that can take a 
large amount of resources.  We shouldn't limit the number of clauses in general 
either - it made sense in the past, but it no longer does.

> In the #solr IRC channel, I mentioned the maxBooleanClauses limitation to 
> someone asking a question about queries.  Mark Miller told me that 
> maxBooleanClauses no longer applies, that the limitation was removed from 
> Lucene sometime in the 3.x series.  The config still shows up in the example 
> even in the just-released 4.2.
> Checking through the source code, I found that the config option is parsed 
> and the value stored in objects, but does not actually seem to be used by 
> anything.  I removed every trace of it that I could find, and all tests still 
> pass.
